STATEMENTWithin my work, I am creating my personal interpretation of city walls andthe interplay of humans within these structures through paper, paint, andmetal. Cities are constantly changing their blueprint. Structures are torndown and new ones are built, creating new skylines. The process ofcreating this juncture between earth and sky is reflected in my work. I buildtexture with my brush and using various tools. Using these various toolsallows for me to create surprising texture and marks. My process works ona conscious and subconscious level, ultimately leading me to the finishedpiece.The different shapes and textures that come out of this process draw theviewer to make their own interpretations and conclusions, with each viewerseeing a unique vision. Familiar objects and symbols are used in anabstract manner, but not in the way most people see them used in theireveryday world.The figures within these paintings seem trapped or alienated. They aresurrounded by images of crumbling landscapes. The landscapes serve asimmovable points in my collages and contrast with the vibrant color andmovement, emphasizing the idea that loneliness and isolation are part ofthe human condition.
